October Update! | Patreon

The Halloween dress came out stunning, such a great design with many interesting details! Oh, and I really like the purple and yellow dress, the construction is quite special and interesting. Thanks for the update on all your projects and the update about yourself. Take care.

The only thing I have to comment on is, what happened to little Guin's paw? Is it going to heal on its own? Poor baby!

I agree, any way to get the green in winter? Or would it be WAY too cold..also, is there a picture of the Halloween dress worn? It's so pretty!

The green dress might work well in the Christmas tree farm, if you want to just get it done. Fully understand the issues with meds change, I've been through it several times. Beautiful projects, as usual. Love the funky halloween gown, the black and white one seems very Beetlejuice to me.

WOW!! I am a seamstress and understand that was a lot you got accomplished in October! Beautiful and lovely work!👑 FEEL GOOD about your work! I have constructed a few dresses sewing by hand over the years!! Have you done button holes by hand!! I actually enjoy that part!!! I absolutely love your videos they are so lovely and you are such a sweet heart👑💟⏩your litlle dog is SO CUTE ! Your loyal patron 👑✂💟🎥

Just to say please don't beat yourself up because your health prevented you from working as much as you wanted to, it's not your fault - our bodies don't always cooperate with our plans and all we can do is to accept and work around it. That being said, I hope your medication and everything else will help you to be as creative and productive as you wish to be.

Love your posts always worth the wait x

Thank you for this update! It's always super inspiring to see what you've been working on, and honestly seeing you over the years has had a great impact on my sewing and getting stuff done for my own wardrobe. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there, I hope this can sometimes serve as consolation when you're feeling down, so many of us admire your creativity and dedication, even when you might be feeling like you haven't had a productive month, you've still managed to do a whole lot, and it looks beautiful! I mean, that pumpkin gow? The stripey one? The purple one? They all look fantastic and intricate!! Also, it's a known fact that you can't be productive all the time, especially when you work all the time like you. No matter what you do, there will be times of rest and times of creative outbursts, right? It's all part of the process! Thank you so much for sharing your work with us, I'm excited to see what you end up doing in November. Also, I understand why you put the 1920s evening dress to the side, to me it looks very New Years' Eve (maybe it's the champagne color!!). So impressed by all you've accomplished, keep it up but also remember that pausing/resting is ok and that you need it too :)

I counted around 500 000 buttonholes on those dresses! Question: do you have any tips or rules for choosing thread color for multi-colored fabrics - or is it purely an intuition thing for you? I can imagine both wanting to hide and show off one's stitching. P.S. I laughed because of how adorable it looked when the patterns on you table are haunted by Spooky Puppy. D.S.

I love all your projects. You are not only creative, but you have a sense of whimsy that I absolutely appreciate. Not many people would spend all of that time on a historical dress made with modern novelty fabrics. They're very fun. You really did get a lot done this month. I know that you have obligations mandatory things that you have to do. I do hope that you will follow your Muse on the rest of it and don't get too caught up in some plan that you lost interest in momentarily. Artists do have to live in the real world, but after you do the mandatories just do what you love and what makes you happy. Otherwise why bother?

Those 1880s dresses are to die for! I've also been drooling over that coat pattern since everyone is going on about how it looks like Hogwarts robes!

I would love to have a pattern of your pumpkin dress and hat. They are so cute and quirky just fits me and my personality. Glad your feeling better and I can’t wait to see why you come up with next/.

Hours, I tell you, hours! LOL! You're just fine. You know we understand.
